 Christie’s auction house in Paris announced last week that an American collector purchased the rare skeleton of a 65-million-year-old Triceratops. The three-horned vegetarian was unearthed in the badlands of North Dakota in 2004 and has spent its latest years hidden away in a European collector’s private museum.

The unnamed buyer, who paid nearly $1 million, has given no clue about where this huge fossil will now reside. Here’s a suggestion: a public museum, say in Bismarck, N.D., where scientists, students and thousands of ordinary dinosaur lovers would be allowed to see it . . .
